Duo formed by two travelers, Jacques Leglise (French) and Michael Green (English), that recorded in the second half of the 70's their only LP in Germany, released privately in the Netherlands and having its few copies sold at concerts. Divided into 4 long tracks, this is a fine example of 70's folk rock, with blues and country doses, and different atmospheres: psychedelic, acoustic and dancing. It is also surprising, because only acoustic guitar and harmonica are used and well performed, accompanying rare passages sung in English.

Very rare 1976 self-titled homebrew vinyl release from a Canadian band with only side of music running about 19 minutes across three songs. Piano-driven rock with symphonic and AOR elements, some synth, little or no guitar. Dominated by melodramatic and fairly poor male vocals, but there's also some decent female vocals and harmony vocals for brief passages. The first 30 seconds are pretty arresting, with the female singer wailing over some ELP-styled neo-classical jamming, but that sound doesn't return to speak of and the album essentially amounts to a fourth-rate version of Kansas. Pathetically amateurish in every way, especially recording quality. Definitely not worth a second listen and not even a first listen except for people who enjoy scraping the bottom of the 70s rock rarities barrel.

Formed in 1969 in the city of Christchurch, this band had some lineup changes until launch their only two albums in 1971 and 72, as well as some singles and disappear shortly after. Post here their last record, bringing 10 short tracks of soft rock, quite melodic and with some influences of folk and country, good passages of organ, guitar and flute are highlights. Few news for style, but still interesting to folk and pop rock fans.

The first side is pleasant folk, with acoustic guitars and flute, and sparse vocals sung in a soft French tone. Side 2 rocks out with the addition of electric guitar, bass, keys and drums. Plenty of progressive meter changes, and comparisons to bands like Memoriance or Pentacle wouldn't be out of place. A splendid little album that very few know about, but is not to be missed! Comes in a plain white cover with an Images sticker as seen here. Also has a nice insert with baby pictures of all 5 band members.

Guitarist / composer Amancio D`Silva was born in Goa, India and arrived in London in 1967, where he was immediately absorbed by the burgeoning local Jazz scene. Although D`Silva participated in a wide variety of sessions, his unique guitar voice always included a subtle Eastern undertone. However, on his solo recording projects, where his own compositions were mainly featured, this influence was much more apparent. He recorded five brilliant solo albums, of which this was the last. The musicians participating in this recording come from the ranks of legendary British Jazz scene: Don Rendell – saxophone, Stan Tracey – piano and Alan Branscombe – flute, vibes and electric piano. A sitar and two tabla players add the Indian flavor to the music, which flows beautifully like a river of sound in an enchanted garden. Absolute must!

Wasted organ-heavy psych with endearingly muffled production and echoing vocals. Doomy, druggy vibe is maintained throughout, even on the uproarious version of "Rock Around the Clock" (Completely with distorted brass instrument of some description). "Nights in White Satin" is turned into a nightmarish Mandrax dirge, and "Down By the River" is smothered in the audial equivalent of confused, drunken remorse. The two originals shine bright too, opener "Can't get Down" ploughs a thrillingly nihilistic blues-rock furrow, while the twisted history of the US related on "Monster, Suicide, America" is just baffling. A definite lost classic for fans of no-fi psych and outsider rock.

First solo album by this guitar player born in Tallinn and since the 70's participated in several local bands, as Jaan Kuman. In this work, we hear 8 instrumental tracks more geared to traditional and chamber jazz, most of time quiet with good solo passages of guitar, piano and percussion, saxophone and clarinet are responsible for some groove doses. One of the gems from the Baltic jazz worth a listen, recommended!

Only solo album released by Australian singer Gulliver Smith, present in several local groups since early 60s until his death in 2014. In this LP, with all members of his band at the time, Caine Company, we hear a unusual mix of blues, country, psychedelia, progressive and boogie rock. In instrumental there is a balance between dynamic and agitated passages and other acoustic ballads, with the presence of saxophone, guitar, piano, percussion and acoustic guitars, accompanying the Gulliver's vocal. I recommend hearing and draw your conclusions.

Another unofficial compilation taken from 'Kongres Rock Majstora' VA album, this time of the guitarist Miodrag Kostić, born in the former Yugoslavia and current Bosnia and Herzegovina, a member of local bands like Terusi, Opus and Yu Grupa. Here we hear 4 short rock'n'roll tracks, guided by heavy guitarriffs and solos and good presence of drums / bass, in the best 70's style, with vocals in local language.
